The featured articles of the wiki are articles that represent the best DJBWiki has to offer. This is not a way to showcase the articles of your favorite characters, spaceships, or the like.

So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.


An article must…

  1. …be well written and detailed
  2. …be unbiased, non-point of view
  3. …not be the object of any ongoing edit wars
  4. …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc)
  5. …have a succinct proper lead that can be used for the front page featured box
  6. …have a reasonable amount of red links; use common sense
  7. …have a complete, detailed biography if it's a character article
  8. …not have been previously featured

For more information on what makes a featured article, see Wikipedia:What is a featured article.


How to nominate:

  1. First, nominate an article you find is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above.
  2. Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
  3. Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
  4. The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
  5. Also, if, at least a week after the article's nomination, that article has 5 supports and no objections, it will be added the queue, and will be officially known as a "featured article".

How to vote:

  1. Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
  2. Afterwards, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
    1. If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved.
  3. As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors.
  4. Once all objectors' complaints have been solved (or the article has 5 supports and no objections after at least a week), the article will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article".

Also remember to add {{nominated}} at the top of the article you are nominating.

Every Sunday the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the {{featured}} template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{featured article}} template. Nominees that are inactive for a month will be eliminated from the nominations list.

Featured article nominations

List an article and leave your signature for the nomination(s) - additional comments beyond support or object (unless you have concrete reasons as to why you object) are not required and will be deleted.

Kieran Kodiak Falor

Nominated by Kieran 22:00, 27 March 2007 (GMT)

  • Weak Oppose There are no force sensitive Mandalorians. Also you used an image of a Gil Hibben (copyrighted design) blade for a vibroblade and a tazer gun for some kind of blaster. -- Shin'ichi Endymiron Keibatsu 22:39, 29 March 2007 (EST)
  • Fix The Vibroblade image has been removed and shall be replaced with a more appropriate one (please forgive the infringement as I was unaware of that), yes it is a tazer, however it is documented that the blaster in question are usually modified by the owner thus I thought it was an appropriate image, Mandalorians typically adopt orphans into their clans and thus the possibility of there being force sensative Mandalorians has yet to be disproved in the SW Universe, and since the only race that cannot be force sensative are the Yuuzhan Vong your comment is unfounded. -- Kieran 09:04, 2 April 2007 (GMT)
